CARBONDALE, Ill. -
Saluki season ticket holders who come to Lingle Hall for their seat selection appointment in the coming weeks will be offered the opportunity to take a brief look at the SIU Arena as it undergoes construction, prior to their scheduled appointment. This preview is designed to provide fans a visual representation of the arena's reconfigured seating bowl in effort to assist them with their seating choices.

"During these first 10 days of seat selection, a number of fans told us they would like to see the arena, even though it is not completed," said director of athletics Mario Moccia. "We gave them a quick look, and it helped them get a perspective on how much the arena has changed. This is simply an effort to make the opportunity to preview the arena more formalized and available to our fans."

Fans who would like to preview the arena prior to their seat selection should check-in at Lingle Hall, 30 minutes before their designated appointment time. Since construction is ongoing, this preview will only be available as part of the seat selection process.
